New Jack Librarian

Hi. I'm Mita and I've been blogging since 1999. Of course, this gives me no 'net cred as my first blog, Rain Barrel, was done using Frontpage and hosted on Geocities. Yes, I am a librarian. Changing the rules so more can win. My future self is awesome.

Games without Frontiers

This past Wednesday, I gave a talk as part of the University of Windsor's UWin Week.

My talk was called: Games Without Frontiers: Using games to discover new geographies and generate new futures.

The slides can be found here and you can find some of the speakers notes under the 'actions' menu at the bottom of the page. The notes start off as fairly extensive but by the end of the 40 slides, I've reduced them to a handful of words.


Some of the games and game sites mentioned in the talk include:
  • Social Capital and World of Warcraft
  • Playing History
  • Arden: The World of Williams Shakespeare
  • Play The News
  • Smokescreen
  • ERU: Emergency Response Unit
  • Games For Change
  • Geocaching
  • Find The Lost Ring
  • Nike+ : The Human Race 10K
  • Sharkrunners
  • New York Nearest Subway
  • Street Wars
  • Cruel 2 B Kind
  • igfest
  • Come Out & Play
  • Sandpit
  • Chorewars
  • Bookification Games
  • SFZero
  • Signtific Lab
  • World Without Oil
  • Ruby's Bequest
  • Picture the Impossible
  • The Guardian's Investigate Your MP
  • Sunlight's Foundation's Transparency Corps
  • Foldit
  • FunSAT: Human Computing for EDA
